Open-air carol singing

Decorations on a real Christmas tree.

On Monday evening. villagers will gather on the patio of the Maurice Dobson Museum from 7pm, to follow a programme of carols with readings from sheets to be provided on the night.

Braziers will be lit to provide warmth.

Organiser Geoffrey Hutchinson said: “Everyone is very welcome to come and sing, but please come well wrapped up and bring a torch. There is no charge and we try to finish with a mince pie for all and a glass of mulled wine in the Museum. Singing in the open air is often cold but has a particular enjoyment all of its own.”
